A tour of the medieval Karlstejn Castle takes you for a half day trip out of Prague. The tour includes the visit of castle interiors as well as a walk round the picturesque village of Karlstejn.
A trip into the 14th century invites you to visit a majestic Gothic castle founded 650 years ago by Charles IV, King of Bohemia and of the Roman Empire. The castle was built in the 14th century as a place for safekeeping of royal treasures, especially the coronation jewels. Located in a picturesque site on the Dragon´s rock in the middle of dense forests just about an hour´s drive from Prague, for many visitors this is one of the most popular destinations. The price includes entry to the castle and free tasting of Original Karlstejn Mead. Including 30 minutes walking.

Easy to find meeting point.
Excellent and personable guide (Teresza).
Beautiful castle. Probably more interesting to Czechs given the history of Charles IV.

The ride was not very long and scenic. The town is quaint and was a nice way to spend 1/2 day. I would have liked more time to wander the castle although it is sparse.

The trip was Good! But your description should really make it clear that the walk up is a VERY AGRESSIVE HIKE.
we made it up but almost took away from the Lovely Castle.

Tour guide was nice. Our tour was half Spanish half English, but was awesome. Best value tour I’ve been on in a while.

I enjoyed the tour to the castle and I think it’s worthy.
The guide was knowledgeable and spoke in English and French. She also told us some jokes and important historical facts. We had information all the time about lots of sites and not just the castle. She was really good and I’ve learnt a lot.
The castle place is like a fairy tale.....so beautiful!
I’m glad I did this tour and I think it’s really good.

We took the bus tour to Karlstejn castle which is really quite beautiful. Unfortunately our tour guide Vera was just as cranky. Did not see her smile all day and she did not seem to like her job. She gets annoyed when you ask questions so you soon learn to be silent. In short, I definitely recommend Karlstejn castle but perhaps try going with another tour agency.

It was a very enjoyable day, I found it good to get out of the city & into the countryside, the driver was very accommodating & Katerina C was very knowledgeable, patient, & helpful.
The castle itself stands overlooking some v v beautiful surroundings, the guide within the castle was clear & had a v good sense of humour.
Overall I would highly recommend this tour

A good castle not far from the city. The climb from the car park is steep, and we were glad that we opted to take the horse cart.

Great day out. Beautiful sights and historic castle. Took the horse and cart ride up to the castle which was a nice touch. The hill is very steep and you would need to be really fit to walk it. Back in Prague for 3pm to enjoy a nice lunch and a few drink in the old square near to the drop off point. All in all a very nice trip. Guide was freindly and informative. I would recommend this trip to anyone who loves historic castles.
